The "digest" command is the only thing I've found to fail, and it's consistent. 
 I can generate checksums with the builtin commands correctly, and do other 
assorted tasks, and it works just fine.

It's a dual-proc G4 Mac from (I think?) 2000.  If I can get it to work, it will 
be a nice step up from what I'm using for a server at home now.

Memtester is finishing its 5th iteration now, 6 hours in, and no errors 
reported thus far.

I wonder if it could be related to the other problem I'm having, about not 
being able to open pkgdb.



Thanks,
Tim
